WDET music hosts Ann Delisi and Don Was at the inaugural Don Was Motor City Playlist Bowling Party at the Garden Bowl in Detroit.

Here at WDET, we feel incredibly lucky to have such an esteemed group of music hosts gracing our airwaves. On the Don Was Motor City Playlist, Blue Note Records President and music industry powerhouse Don Was pays homage to the Motor City and the artists that inspire him.

Every Friday, Was digs deep into his music archives to curate playlists and share personal stories about the artists whose songs he features. Co-hosted by WDET’s Ann Delisi, listeners hear commentary about Detroit and its rich musical and cultural histories.

Listeners and fans will again have the opportunity to celebrate the show — now in its fourth year — at the Don Was Motor City Playlist’s 2nd annual Bowling Party on Monday, July 21 at the Garden Bowl!
